re: #411 Dr. Matt

They’ll go with the nutter they know, not with the even more likely to be out there unknown.

Despite the claims made and spread courtesy of Breitbart, there were no alternatives to Boehner. No one was stepping up as an alternative with sufficient votes. The few who did vote against him is the extent of a protest vote, and nothing more.

The votes for West (who’s now out of Congress) is laughable, but it’s akin to throwing your vote away - the political equivalent of a temper tantrum. And given that Boehner didn’t need those votes, they’re essentially sidelined anyways.
